‌Australia beat West Indies by 159 runs in the first Test at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday. Travis Head scored his second half-century of the game with Beau Webster and Alex Carey also getting fifties to push Australia to a formidable 310 in the second innings. Pacer Josh Hazlewood then shone with a five-wicket haul as the visitors blew away the Windies for 141 in just 33.4 overs.

Starting day three at 92/4, Head and Webster extended their fifth-wicket partnership to 102 before Head departed for 61 with his knock consisting of eight boundaries. Webster (63) and Carey (65), who came in next, also completed their respective half-centuries as Australia went past the 300-run mark with valuable contributions from the tail. Carey was the top-scorer in the second innings scoring seven fours and two sixes during his 75-ball knock. Shamar Joseph picked up 5/87 for the West Indies, ending with a match haul of nine wickets, while Alzarri Joseph picked up two wickets.

Chasing 301 for an improbable win, the hosts’ innings unravelled in quick time as they were bowled out for 141 in a single session. Shamar was their top-scorer with an entertaining 22-ball 44 which included four fours and sixes but that just delayed the inevitable. Hazlewood ran through the West Indies top-order before finishing with an impressive spell of 5/43 while spinner Nathan Lyon picked up two wickets as the Aussies started their tour on a commanding note to lead the three-match series 1-0.
